there can be no reasonable objection urged to
it on the score Of economy. The commits
sloners think that these results have been
achieved in very large measure. In some
cases the appointing officers have not COOP
Grated with the Commissioners so fully as
they might. and for that reason the possibili-
Ties OF the system have not always been re-
allied. But the general results have been
Mighty satisfactory. "The public SERVICE"
say the Commissioners, "has been benefited
by securing the employment of persons of
tested and proved fitness: by taking parti-
sanship and personal favoritlsm out of the
public business offices; by relieving the
superior and appointing officers of the pros
sure Of solicitation for office, and by giving
incumbents of Office more secure tenure"
How utterly needless aud uncalled for was
the effort made last winter to exempt yete-
rams from the operation of the law is shown
by the fact that greater per centage of vet
Grams than Of civilians passed the examina
tions last year and the two preceding years
in which the law was in operation. The as
sumption underlying this proposed amend
ment was that the veterans were not gener-
ally as well posted as the civilians, and con-
sequently the civilians would crowd them
out. The fact is just the reverse. The vete-
rams have proved themselves the more intel
ligent, and instead Of being crowded out have
crowded out the civilians.

state Finances.

The annual report of State Treasurer Bur-
leigh, full abstract Of which appears in
another column, is gratifying reading. The
State debt after deducting the sinking fund
is $2,799, ,349.43. During the year the debt
was reduced by $209, ,112.l6 Two years hence
$5,157,000 State bonds will become due. AZ
ter applying the sinking fund there will re-
main in the neighborhood of 81, ,000, 900 bonds
to be provided for by refunding. The Treas
urer very properly suggests that the present
legislature should frame and enact law for
that purpose. 1t will no doubt be possible
to refund these bonds at much lower rate of
interest than is paid on them at present; so
that the amount necessary to be raised by
taxation to pay the interest on the public
debt will be very much reduced In the fu-
ture. At the present rate Of taxation the
treasurer estimates that the receipts for the
year 1887 will exceed the expenditures on the
present basis by $25s, ,397.76 There is no rsa-
son therefore why the present legislature
should not make reduction in the State tax
for the coming year. Mr.. Burleighs sug-
gestions in regard to the future manage
ment Of the State debt win receive the earn
est attention Of the legislature. coming as
they do from gentleman, who has proved
himself to be very capable and conserya-
tive fnancier, and whe has administered the
6Hairs Of his Office with signal ability.

The Republican members of the Massachu-
setts Legislature have held conference on
the Senatorial question with a view of fixing
day for caucus to decide who the Repub-
lican candidate shall be. There was quite
strong opposition to holding a caucus at all.
the Dawes men fayoring the settlement of
the matter entirely by votel In the Legisla-
ture; motion was made to fix the date of
rhScaucus for Thursday, but it was subse-
quently amended by substituting confer
ence" for 'caucus" and SO passed. The
Dawes men claim the result was victory
for them, but Gov. Longs friends allege that
they controlled the conference, and could
have carried the original motion for a caucus
had they seen fit. They say that they have
no objection to delaying the settlement of
the question, and profess to think that the
longer the matter is kept open the stronger
Gov. Long will become. The fact probably
is that neither side is quite as confident as
1t would like to be, and that both are glad to
have little more time to put in missionary

GOV. sodweII on Prison Labor.

In conversation with the Augusta cores
pondent OF the PRESS, reported in another
column, Gov. Bodwell indicates very clearly
his position on the prison labor question.
AS the PRESS supposed. the information he
got at the State prison led him to think that
the prison carriages were sold at such prices
and in such way that they did not injure
the business Of private manufacturers. But
when the advertisements which the prison
agents have put ont were called to his atten-
tion he Immediately recognized that the
whole story had not been told him, and that
there were substantial grounds for complaint
by private manufacturers. The Governor
expresses himself as anxious that the whole
subject shall be investigated, with view of
getting at the exact facts in the case, and he
would be glad to have private manufacturers
suggest such remedies as they think will
cure the evil complained Of
After reading what the Governor said to
our correspondent every fair-minded man
must be convinced that the Governor is dis
posed to do all in his power to satisfy the
reasonable demands of private manufac-
turers

The Massachusetts Civil Service

The Civil Service law has now been on the
Massachusetts statute book three wears.
That is long enough to demonstrate its utility
or its uselessness. The report, therefore, of
the State Civil Service Commissioners is of
good deal Of interest and Importance not
not only to Massachusetts, but to other
States contemplating the enactment of sim
liar law. On the first of December last the
whole number Of persons in the classified
service was 1856, classified as follows: In
the clerical services of the Common
wealth and cities, 525: the police service,
regular and special, 1891; the prison and
watch service, 223; the fire service, 68l !;
draw tenders and foremen of laborers, l45;
and in the labor service of Boston, 1858.
The annual compensation of those in the
classified service amounts to about S4,375,-
300. The cost of the administration of the
civil service act is less than quarter of 1
per cent. OF the annual compensation of the
public servants classified under the law
The expense is so trihlng that If results

Lord Salisbury has finally succeeded in re-
constructing his cabinet. but not without
making that distinguished Tory, Lord Iddes-
leigh, better known as Sir Stafford Northcote,
and his friends very angry. 1t was given
out that Lord Iddesleigh's health was not
equal to the task that would be put upon it
In cabinet position, but both he and his son
deny that he is sick. Indeed they both agree
that he was never betterin his life. The un-
mistakable inference is that the plea of i'll
health was simply subterfuge, and that the
real reason for ignoring Lord Iddesleigh was
something very different. There is doubtless
trouble ahead for Salisbury for Lord Iddes-
leigh has strong following who will resent
what they believe to be. an affront to him,
by throwing as many obstacles in the way
OF the new Cabinet as possible. Lord
Churchill can be counted on to help them.

The Indiana Democrats have discovered a
precedent which is disturbing them good
deal. Some thirty years ago the Republicans
and Democrats in the legislature Of that
State got into wrangle and the Republicans
refused to go into convention to choose
Senator The Democrats ignored them and
proceeded to elect Senator by themselves.
Armed with credentials. they sent him to
Washington and Democratic Senate ad-
mitted him. The Democrats fear that the
same thing with the politics of the Senator
reversed may happen this year

The Portland correspondent Of the Boston
Advertiser thinks he detects signs that ex-
Mayor Deering is preparing to be a candl-
date again this spring, and he says the pros
poets Of such an occurrence strikes different
Democrats differently. Some OF them think
the proper thing to do is to nominate him
and slaughter him once for all at the polls"
The genuineness of his Democracy is ques-
TONED by good many who accuse him Of
having neglected to vote for the last Demo-
cratic candidate for Mayor. Among those
says the correspondent, who are spoken of
aspossible candidates in ease Deerlng is kept
off from the track are Charles Mccarthy,
who, 1t is understood, is not disposed to run,
and Joseph E. Blabon, President of the
Board of Trade, who is very popular and
would make strong candidate"

Gushing T. Davis, will feel lonesome when

Vale COnfrere.

Last night Mr.. H. w. Patton sew
cred his connection with the HERALD,
after an honored career of over three
years. His newspaper career in Los
Angeles extends over period of more
than four years, and during that time
he has become very prominently iden-
titled with the newspaper and politi-
cal history of the city. Energetic in
action, bright in style, and, in word
possessed Of many elements of success
in his profession, he leaves record
behind him which any young man
might well envy. His loss will be felt
in reporterial circles, and in the affec-
tions of his confreres his place will be
hard indeed to fill.
The young gentleman leaves this
journal to go into the real estate busi-
ness with Capt. w. s. Waters,
one of the best known young
lawyers of Los Angeles, and with
Mr.. A. Glassell Patton, an accom-
plished young civil engineer
and surveyor. The combination is in
all respects a strong one, as all the
members of the firm have hosts of
friends, the best of regulations, and
the earnest backing of many Of our
largest property holders. Their doors
were hardly opened when they drew
their first blood in the sale of piece
of city realty at the round figure of
100000. These young men will make
a record of no common order in their
new venture.

Set the canary birds cage on the
table where you wish to sit; after a
little conference with the bird intro
duce finger between the wires near
the favorite perch, holding it there
patiently, yourself occupied with book
or paper the while. Presently, as it
shows no disposition to harm him, he
actually goes up to examine it. Then
he picks to ascertain its quality, may
be he fights it. That is well; he no
longer fears it. Pay him with little
bird food; put him away. Next day
try him again. He may go farther
and light on it, or he may be several
days getting thus familiar. Be patient.
Once this step is attained, vary the
programme by introducing the finger
in other spots. He will soon light on
it at any point or angle. Then try the
door, at first thrusting the finger under
it, next time fasten itopen, blockading
egress with the rest of the hand as
one finger extends within. When he
perches on it draw him forth a little /;
next time tempt him to perch outside
a little, and 80 on. In a short time
you have but to open the cage door,
uplift a finger, and he is sure to fly to
it; and he may thus be called to any
part of the room to rest on the familiar
perch. Most birds learn this familiar
ity in few days, yet there are those
who will be two or four weeks about
it.-[O Our Dumb Animals.

THE UNITED STATES HOTEL.
A Great Acquisition to Los
Angeles.

| "A HTeat ACqulShtlOm 10 LOS
Angeles.
The New United States Hotel has
just opened. The proprietor, J. f.
Woodward, has spared no expense to
make this hotel one of the very best
in the city. Everything about it is
new and of the finest order. As one
ascends to register the electric light at
the head of the stairway shows the
guest what exquisite taste Mr.. Wood
ward has shown and how well he
studies the comforts of his boarders.
Along the spacious hallway we turn
to the left and enter the reception
room, which is magnifcently fur
nished. Sitting at thousand dollar
Weber piano was one of the lady
guests, who played charmingly.
Opening into this handsome fur
nished parlor was room though not
quite as large or as gorgeously fur
nished, was cosiness personified. 1t
was the Library" Here some of
the guests had already assembled and
were talking of the grandure Of the
hotel. Coming from the library or
reading room we enters large hallway
lit up with gas chandeliers and we see
the different bedroom suites. We
could imagine We were at the Palace
or Baldwin's = they equal either.
With marble-top furniture (cher-
ry and walnut dressing), stationary
washstands, hot and cold water; with
one of the softest beds one would wish
to lay upon, you will have everything
desirable, like first-class hotel should
be. The kitchen is like new pin and
is under the hands of one of the best
chefs, if not the best, on the coast.
Coming back to the sleeping depart
ments we saw the electric fire alarm
bells work, and we think they are the
best in use. Every room in the house
has one of these, and in case OF fire
this is the easiest hotel we ever saw to
get out of without injury, having three
outlets besides fire-escapes. Going to
the main hall we arrive at the dining
room. Mr.. Woodward has knack
of making everything look bright
and cheerful. 1t reminds one Of
what real comfort is. Our genial
host does not forget the inner man and
one has but to try a dinner here and
he will most assuredly call again.
Going back to the parlor we rested
upon one of the most magnificent
pieces of furniture we have seen for a
long time, admiring the handsome
mirrors and furniture of all kinds
and description. We all thought
what happy and homelike time we
would have if we concluded to stay
with mine host. To think of having
the very best cuisine, sleeping. in
rooms and beds surrounded by all
new and exquisite furniture, superior
to the best hotels in Southern Califor-
MIA, at a far less figure than they
charge. One could hardly believe it.
The location being on the main thor
oughfare, in the heart OF the city, it
really seemed odd, but so it is. This
hotel is on Main street, two doors
from Requena, in the Mesmer's man.
moth block. 1t used to be the old
United States Hotel, the largest next
to the Nadeau in the city. 1t was
torn down and rebuilt, and is now
supposed to be the largest block in
Los Angeles.
